2007 CBC

This 2-volume set, published by International Seismic Application Technology (ISAT) provides in-depth solutions for enhancing the seismic resiliency of critical distributed utilities within essential facilities and other structures. The ISAT Manuals depict an extensive array of engineered seismic restraint assemblies for common utility conditions including specific hardware components and the anchorage designs for connection to common structural elements.

All solutions are 2007 CBC code complaint and meet or exceed the design requirements of CBC code reference document ASCE 7-05, “Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures” including OSHPD amendments.

The 2007 CBC Seismic Manuals are designed for use by:

Building officials

Inspectors

Utility designers

Architects

Civil and structural engineers

General contractors

Facility Owners

Insurance Companies

Sub-contractors

Mechanical Piping

Plumbing

HVAC

Electrical

Fire Protection

Process Piping

The 2-volume set provides extensive, pre-engineered documentation illustrating the means and methods for the successful restraint of distributed utility systems within essential facilities and other structures required to avoid the damaging effects of code level seismic forces. The advent of newer, more comprehensive seismic ground acceleration maps from the U.S. Geological Survey now provides highly definitive ground motion data that is more project specific than ever and does away with the former use of general “seismic zones”.

The ISAT 2007 CBC Manuals take advantage of this new data along with new code formulas for “Seismic Design Force” and revised Seismic Coefficients For Mechanical And Electrical Components to provide engineered restrained systems which significantly reduce the risk of damage to critical utility systems within an array of essential facilities and other facilities including, but not limited to the following:
